I am trying to create a simple irc client with twisted library and start by importing related module:
from twisted.words.protocols import irc
This error is displayed:
no module named words.protocols
I don't quite understand this error as I can import tiwsted directly (it is in my PATH then) and the filesystem is like this:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/words/protocols/irc.py
The words and protocols folders both contain a __init__.py file, so they should be interpreted as modules.
If I change directory for /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/words/ and start a python interpreter, this command runs without error:
from protocols import irc
But my final script would have nothing to do in this directory :/
I don't quite understand why I'm having this error and how to solve it.
Many thanks for helping
EDIT
I have all the words folders into /usr/local/lib and not in classic /usr/lib, maybe python is to look into the second folder and not the first one.
I don't know yet how to overload this behavior, and hope it does not boils down to overriding os.environ['PATH'] which looks really dirty.
EDIT2: /usr/local/lib folders belong to the PATH as shown by this command:
python -c "import sys; print [ i for i in sys.path if 'local' in i ]"
['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages']
So I still don't understand why this shit is not going to be imported
EDIT3
This is not script name related I guess; from a terminal in my debian :
python -c "from twisted.words.protocols import irc"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named words.protocols
